Creator's Key Takeaways

Last year, I personally witnessed a couple get kicked off the ship at a port of call for doing number 10.

All major cruise lines prohibit smoking in your cabin or stateateroom, and that includes the balcony.

I was on a nice Caribbean cruise in the middle of winter, so the weather wasn't all that hot.

Passengers have been kicked off the ship. Passengers have been banned for life from cruise lines and in some cases even turned over to authorities at ports of call.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do not smoke in your cabin or on the balcony.
✓Keep Bluetooth speaker volume low to avoid noise complaints.
✓Close cabin doors slowly to prevent slamming.
✓Do not leave balcony doors open at ports of call to avoid insects.
✓Do not engage in intimate activities on your balcony.
✓Check all drawers, surfaces, safe, and closet before leaving the ship.
